XAD-2 and XAD-16 have been used for removal of detergents from protein solutions. The capacity for
XAD-2 for Triton X-100 was reported as 0.37 g per g dry resin (1.91 g of hydrated resin).3,4 Most XAD
resins are nonpolar and may be used over a pH range of 0-14, with maximum usage temperature 480°F.
XAD-7 is the only "moderately polar" XAD resin now available. It has been used to remove relatively polar
compounds from non-aqueous solvents, and to remove non-aromatic compounds from polar solvents. It
has been used for removal of organic pollutants form aqueous wastes, ground water and vapor streams.
The pH range is 0-14, with maximum usage temperature 300°F. A similar product is Diaion HP2MG,
having larger pore diameter, but very similar in surface area.
